How to Shop Jewelry Online, According to a Pro

We get that shopping for an investment piece online can be a bit intimidating, but Steven Singer, owner of Steven Singer Jewelers, has a few tips.

Know the return and upgrade policy.

First, familiarize yourself with the return and upgrade policy.” Check out their return policy and upgrade policy. “You want a jeweler that is going to stand behind their merchandise, even if you are never going to return it. It says a lot about who you are buying from.”

Look for metal stamps.

“For precious metals, look out for the metal stamps,” he continues. “Pieces can be advertised as gold, but can vary in quality. The stamp on the jewelry should tell you the level of gold in the piece. 24k would denote that it is 100 percent gold, but this is not commonly used, because pure gold is not durable and is normally mixed with alloys for strength. 14k gold is standard for jewelry, but look out for 10k pieces as well, as it can be a more affordable option. There are gold-plated pieces, but they should be advertised and stamped as such.”

Read on to see a few of my faves and to find inspo for your next purchase. I can’t wait to see you rocking a bunch of these on the ‘Gram.
